These weren't that great. I guess they're ok for sugar-free but they are too sticky when finished. My 2 year old hates sticky hands so these are way too sticky for him to hold and eat. I'll keep looking for a better recipe. On the plus side though he did have fun helping make them and they were easy.

I LOVE these! I use honey instead of apple juice concentrate. To save time, I put the mix in a pan and cut into squares instead of rolling them into balls.

I used 2 tbsp honey and 1/4 cup of applesauce instead of apple juice concentrate. This turned out to be a tasty and satisfying treat.

These were wonderful! I had everything but the apple juice so I used honey as others suggested. Not only did my 5 & 2 yr old love them but I did too! You can find unsweetened coconut- I thought I'd have to go to a health food store but my local Kroger had it! Great low sugar snack that we will make again & again. Thanks!

This is an easy one to make. The colder it gets the tastier it gets. So make sure you bite into them when they are at least in the fridge overnight. I loved the flavors with the cinnamon, wheat germ, and of course peanut butter. I love peanut butter but it wasn't "complete heaven" good that's why it didn't make the 5 star rating. It is a nice thing to make with your kids. That is if they can wait overnight to enjoy them.

We really like this recipe, it's so quick & easy yet very healthy. I like more coconut, so I added more. Also, I didn't have apple juice, so I used honey and used ground flaxseed in place of the wheat germ, since that's what I had on hand. I've made it twice in one week and I'm sure it will continue to be a favorite around here. Great recipe just the way it is, but also would be fun to play with-adding a variety of ingredients-nuts, raisins...

Yum!! We didn't have coconut so we made these without it, and substituted honey for apple juice concentrate (about half the specified amount). I bet it would be great with coconut, too.

I love these! They were delicious! My dad, who is diabetic, also loves them as a late night snack! I used honey instead of the apple juice, as was suggested by several people, which adds a ton of sweet flavor. I also didn't have any wheat germ and I didn't really want to buy some when this was the only recipe that I have that calls for it, so I used super chunky peanut butter instead. I think it worked really well, it tasted wonderful and the nuggets held together really well.

Amazing! Instead of nonfat milk powder I used soy protein powder. As suggested by previous reviewers, I also ground up some oats and rolled the PB nuggets in the oat flour to coat them. I've also coated them with cocoa powder. I used honey instead of apple concentrate and next time I'm planning to use maple syrup.

stored in freezer. used skim milk in place of dry, molasses in place of apple juice concentrate, and bran in place of wheat germ. rolled them in oats and cocoa powder/sugar mixture like one reviewer suggested. pretty good, but needed an extra kick. might make again but would add more chocolate this time.

What a fun snack and great opportunity to let small children make it themselves. I did not have coconut or apple juice concentrate on hand so I used mini chocolate morsels and honey. I also added some flax seed which complemented the nuttiness and added some additional health value. These are much better served frozen - less of a mess. Very tasty and fun.

DELICIOUS!!! This was great for sugar free cooking! Although, I did use sweetened coconut.... I also substituted seedless blackberry polaner jam, (1 1/2 tablespoons) instead of the apple concentrate. It was very good!!!

I absolutely LOVE the cinnamon flavor in these. It perfectly compliments the honey and peanut butter. The second time I made these, I added more rolled oats and wheat germ and a little less honey - I felt like the original recipe had too much honey in it. Even after refrigerating they were pretty sticky and just a little too sweet. The second go round was better - next time I'll be sure to measure it out and update this review.

I think these taste a bit bland. Unlike many others, I didn't deviate from the recipe. I think these would be good with more spices. I don't miss the sugar at all.

These are a comfort food for me, my mommy made similar ones for me when I was little. I did make some adjustments do to what I had on hand. I didn't have natural peanut butter, just used the 'fatty stuff.' I had no wheat germ, so I used graham cracker crumbs. I also didn't have apple juice concentrate, so I used apple sauce (a bit less than 1/4 c.). Then, I added a few Tbsp. of honey. To chill, I lined a paper plate with waxed paper, placed the 'nuggets' on that, then put the whole plate in a lare ziploc bag and froze. The only negative I have is that the recipe only made 11 'nuggets' would have to increase the ingredients next time. P.S. If you hadn't realized already, i wasn't really going for sugar-free. (BTW: coconut has sugar in it)
